Tube Settlers

Overview

Brentwood tube settlers are a cost-effective solution for drinking water and wastewater plants to increase treatment capacity, reduce new installation footprints, improve effluent water quality, and decrease operating costs. We utilize our knowledge and experience with the clarification process to provide complete tube settler systems that are custom-engineered for any application.

Our blue tubes are also designed to complement Brentwood’s sludge collection and removal systems, allowing customers to purchase a fully integrated sludge management solution from a consistent, single-source supplier.

Okatie, South Carolina

Application

The Beaufort-Jasper Water & Sewer Authority required a dual solution for particle settling and sludge removal. Brentwood was able to offer its tube settlers for increased settling capacity and the SedVac system to remove sludge from the basin floor upon settlement. Together, the two systems maximize performance through efficient sludge management.

Saskatoon, Saskatchewan

Application

The Saskatoon project, one of Brentwood’s largest tube settler installations to date, posed an interesting challenge. Being located in northern Canada, there was concern regarding the impact the water temperature might have on the performance of the tube settlers, seeing as it enters the plant barely above freezing. A successful study was completed in 2012 and demonstrated performance consistent with standard installations. This resulted in the plant converting its four large basins to Brentwood tube settlers.

There is a common misconception about tube settlers that thicker material, whether it’s thermoformed or extruded, yields a stronger, more structurally capable module. On the surface, this seems like a reasonable assumption. However, when we look at the details of…
